Blending Design with Functionality

Have you ever taken a tour (in person or virtual) of the offices of Google in California? The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s not your typical office. Seven gyms, a bowling alley and an area where staff can take a power nap are just some of the highlights of what is called The Googleplex. Lush, green outdoor areas combined with open indoor spaces make Google one of the most desirable workplaces in the world. Their secret to nailing the office fit out? Companies like Google understand the importance of blending design with functionality to benefit everyone in the organisation.

How Google Finds the Perfect Balance and Makes it Work

The Google example is just one of many where those at the top understand that a happy and relaxed employee base translates to a more productive workplace. While for most people money is a prime motivator when it comes to working, others derive just as much joy from being in a workplace that enables them to be more productive.

Of course, not everyone has the budget of Google to completely overhaul the office and turn it into the ideal workplace, but with the help of office fitout companies in Melbourne like Ultimate Chippy, you can at least find ways to blend classic or contemporary designs with present day technology so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

How You Can Blend Functionality and Style on a Budget

It’s important to look after your employees in the workplace, and this is often reflected in the choices of furniture you make for your office fit out. There’s recently been a shift towards ergonomic furniture that reduces the risk of personal injury. Furniture that’s made from sustainably sourced materials has also become more popular, as it has a more positive impact on the planet and can influence many stylistic choices as well (such as whether you go for brand new or pre-loved furniture).
